A recent Universe Today article discussed the Discovery crew delivering supplies while taking out the trash. But take a look at the image and see what's lurking in the background.
That's right. It's the balloons I mentioned last month.
My question is, how have they managed to keep nylon balloons from deflating and will those be going out with the rest of the trash?

Given that a balloon's deflation is due to the porous nature of the latex and it trying to squish itself back down, I wouldn't expect them to deflate any faster. However, standard latex party balloons don't generally last more than a few days. Those ones still look quite well inflated over a month later which is what makes me curious.
